2012 NBA Draft: Updated Big Board

The 2012 NBA Draft is slowly taking shape. With the list of early entries finalized, the only date to keep in mind between now and the draft is June 18. That is the date the early entries without an agent can withdraw their name from the draft.

The draft is scheduled to take place on June 28.

With 66 total players making up the early entries list (49 college players from the U.S. and 17 international prospects), one can only hope a few of these kids will be smart enough to pull their name out of the draft hopper.

Here is my "Top 30 Prospects" as of today. Let me make a couple quick points before we begin. Firstly, this list is not the order that I think guys will be drafted, but rather it is a player ranking, a "Big Board" if you will. Secondly, because we aren't to the pre-draft yet with all the player interviews, this list is independent of character issues, health concerns or any other red flags.

This list is purely a player ranking, best to worst, No. 1-30. Here is the top 30 this week.
